This unit will focus on the skills of counselling within the context of the interpersonal relationship between client and therapist. Special emphasis will be placed on the context of the client's world and its relationship to the presenting problems of the client, including the cultural context. The unit will highlight the importance of the therapeutic alliance and emphasise core counselling skills to optimise the therapeutic relationship. General questioning strategies for conceptualising client problems with an emphasis on the context of the presenting problem, with directions for intervention will also be emphasised, with special attention directed towards an integrative approach.
